Proper Location Of The Xm Antenna; Subscribing To The Xm Service - Nuvo NV-T2FX Installation Manual

Proper Location of the XM Antenna

Location of the XM antenna is critical to proper performance.
There cannot be any obstructions between the antenna and the
southern sky. This means that any possible interference from
buildings, trees or other structures must be avoided.
The most common location is mounted to the eve of the home's
exterior. If you are using the eve as the location of the
antenna, be careful to locate it low enough that the roof over
hang does not obstruct the antenna from clear sky, fig. 10. Any
outside location will suffice. For best performance, the
antenna should be mounted vertically, and placed at
approximately a 45° angle. Again, see fig. 10. This angle is
closer to 50°or 60° if you are in the extreme southern portion
of the United States.

Subscribing to the XM Service

XM satellite radio provides 100 channels of music, news,
sports, comedy, talk, and entertainment. Each of the T2 XM
tuner modules require a subscription from XM. Listeners can
subscribe by visiting XM on the Web at www.xmradio.com or by
calling Xm's Listener Care at (800)852-9696. Have the Radio
ID ready. This is found by tuning to channel 0 on the tuner, on
the tuner's back panel or on the packaging.
Please note that XM service is not available in Alaska or Hawaii.
